The role requires the appointed official to supervise the organisation of the match and ensure that FIFA regulations are adhered to during the game.<br \/>\nIn the 73rd minute, Abdullah Alahrak\u2019s free-kick saw Yousef Ayem attempt a header, which was saved by India skipper and goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu.<br \/>\nBut as the custodian lay on the ground seeing the ball roll over the line, Hashmi Hussein kicked it into play with Aymen slotting it into the net.<br \/>\nSince the ball had visibly rolled out of play, the game should have stopped and then resumed with a corner-kick in this case as Sandhu was the last player to come in contact with the ball before it went out.<br \/>\nBut, to the frustration of the Indian players, the referee awarded the goal to Qatar and despite the visiting team protesting vehemently, the on-field official upheld his decision.<br \/>\nAccording to the rule, \u201cthe ball is out of play if it is wholly passed over the goal line or touchline on the ground or in the air.\u201d<br \/>\nIndia coach Igor Stimac later expressed his dismay by stating that the \u201cirregular\u201d goal killed his team\u2019s dream.<br \/>\nSandhu called it an \u201cunfortunate result\u201d demonstrated that \u201cno one will hand us anything, we have to take it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18304\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18304\"
